This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

We may feel that contemporary films have too much rapid cutting, but in this film the 33 year old Griffith introduces rapid cutting. I'm not a fan of rapid cutting to be quite frank, but at least I know who to attach the blame to. I don't believe that audiences are that dense that they need rapid cutting to maintain concentration.
